I got into my car and turned the key and heard one click. Didn't start. All lights on dash come on and Windows roll down and radio works. To be even more confusing to me after a couple turns of they key (and a single click to go with them) it starts right up. It drives perfect and I have had no issues with anything else. It is completely random but equally irritating. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. I have never used any sort of forum before but I have read other threads that have helped me with other vehicles in the past. But this peticular issue has not been exactly the same as other threads I have read.

Sounds like your starter is going out. Your getting dead spots, then finally hitting a clean spot. Have battery load tested, make sure both battery leads are clean and tight. You may have to pull starter, have it tested at oreillys, or equivalent.
